Add desktop notification/reminders for Glip tasks

In response to rtayyeb on TWITTER: https://twitter.com/rtayyeb/status/88... plz add a feature where we can get a notification at the time of or a few minutes before a task is due. This would be very helpful!

So... what became of this? We are having the same need and it is silly that you can't be notified of an event or task coming due. What is worse, it that Glip only seems to recognize days, which end at 12 midnight, so if I have a task coming due at 3pm on Thursday, Glip will not show it overdue till Friday. Currently the only thing that is remotely like that is I will get an email every morning for overdue tasks, but otherwise I can only see the overdue status in Glip - but I must purposely go look. We work with teams, so this needed functionality should work there, as well as in personal tasks and calendar. Is this BASIC functionality something we can expect soon or no. I know Glip is free, but we are Premium subscribers and it would seem that Glip should have this functionality.

timed reminders- is there a setting already that allows you to set up reminders to pop up at certain times of the day? I know you can get the email that has a to do list on it, but i'm looking, for example, a 4pm reminder to check the schedule for the next day, or a 10am reminder to make a call to xyz client... we could use outlook to do it but we would love to keep all comms and tasks in one place... thanks in advance!

We're having teams go to other tools because there are no reminders for tasks. At least for us, we're not even getting email reminders when the preference is set. There is another thread about having quick access to Tasks, but that also has gone nowhere, and the Dashboard was taken off as the startup behavior. So Tasks are only useful if you regularly make a point of going in and checking them. If that was easy to do for people, no one would need reminders and notifications! But it's not easy, so we DO need reminders and notifications.

I chatted with Support about why that preference (to turn on email reminders) was not working. The Support person (and asking her team) could not figure it out so opened a support case. I got the response: "the tasks notification email is no longer
available." So in "upgrading" Glip, they REMOVED an obvious, critical feature necessary for Tasks to be a usable tool. So not only did RC remove a useful, needed feature, they did a lousy job, leaving the preference option still there, they didn't communicate to the rest of the team so people knew it was removed and the Help files updated properly.

Now, my team is having to go find other tools to track tasks. I just moved my company to RC so they could have collaboration in ONE app.

It also looks like 2 years ago when changes in this area were promised, the only changes that came were to TAKE AWAY features, not add new ones.
